I had given up on taking a neat photo today when Maria and I went up into the Pole Barn to put some straw down for the donkeys. As I turned, the storm broke and the sky turned blue. Some notes:

As you know, Bedlam Farm is for sale. No major news to report yet. We have a place we want and are poised to jump when the farm sales. We have our eye on other places as well.

The E-book Original deal with Random House for “My Life With Rose: A Celebration” looks strong. The book will be available everywhere e-books are sold. Random House is my publisher and I am loyal to them.  I’m hoping to work out an arrangement with Connie Brooks at the Battenkill Bookstore where she can sell them on her website and link to mine.

I’m considered offering some bedtime stories in digital form on the website: Dance of the Barn Cats, Donkey brays, Toots, the Lonely Hen,  Bedlam Farm Stories From The Love Dog. I’d sell them very cheaply on the blog and they could be read to kids or shown them on computers or tablets anytime, including bedtime.

On January 14, I’m going to Orlando to speak at the North American Veterinary Conference (NAVC), and I’ll be at the convention for several days. Hoping to bring my small camera and laptop, and to blog from Orlando and Disney World. Hoping to be warm, although there has hardly  been a winter here.
